Stora Identity brings next-level automation to self-storage businesses. It automatically confirms the identity of your customers, so you can reduce the risk of bad actors moving in and prevent attacks from fraudsters, while minimising friction for legitimate customers. It uses the Stripe Identity product. That means you don't need to do anything apart from turning it on in Stora to start using it.
Why use Stora Identity?

Securely collect identity information to determine if a customer is legitimate or fraudulent.

No setup up required
To use Stora Identity, all you need to do is turn it on from your Check-in page. There's no commitment; you can try it out and instantly switch back to one of our existing check-in approaches if desired.
How it Works
Your customers are asked to verify their identity after booking by taking a photo of an ID document and a selfie.
It all happens within your Storefront in a conversion-optimised verification flow, the customer never has to leave your website. If they are on a desktop computer they can seamlessly move the process to their phone to complete too.
Photos are checked against global databases so your customers’ identities can be verified with confidence.
If a customer doesn't verify, it's up to you to decide whether to proceed with them as a customer or not. Stora doesn’t automatically cancel their booking if they haven't; it lets you know when they haven't, so you can decide.
Pricing
You will be charged a small fee for each automated document check at the agreed rate when you became a Stora customer. Any fees for identity checks will be tallied and billed quarterly.
